This site is really going downhill with all these stupid articles. Developers bring innovation, not hardware. It is normally something that is aimed at by indie developers who tend to prefer an open platform because then they do not have to worry about working with Sony or Microsoft, paying stupid money to update their game ect. This is why PC is the home of indie developers.
GDDR5 is not a miracle that Sony have invented. It is Graphics RAM that is used because of its high b...
BC is one of the reasons I buy all my games on PC except PS3 exclusives ofcourse. I don't want to lose access to my library if I upgrade.
Most powerful cpu in existence lol. Can you please back that up. Sure it has awesome floating point performance but what else. Ermm.
News just in. Too many people are buying PC Exclusives, PC Gaming is dead. /s
BC is the gamble you take by playing on fixed hardware.
That is there opinion. You should be able to think for yourself and say "Hey, does kratos not being as angry effect me".
You needed to be online to play online. There is no lan play though but I would not call it DRM.
Steam is DRM in the same way that PSN and Xbox Live are DRM. They lock content to your account and everything works great as long as you are on the right account. I prefer this to a cd key check or any other form of DRM.
one exists, the other only exists on N4G
OK lets have a look at the parts. Mobile APU. 8 core cpu at 1.6ghz (low - midrange) 8GB GDDR5 (really good) 7850 ish graphics card (mid range). If you look at what AMD says are the ranges for its products you will see that it is mid range. In no way does it make it bad but comparing it to a high end 6 core i7 + GTX 680 or Titan and it does not look as rosey.
What I am saying is this DRM will hurt them. People who are burnt are less likely to buy an EA game again and more likely to pirate. People who have read about this may decide they want the better, playable free version.
What I have gathered from the comments. It does not matter if the PS4 is weaker than any platform because that platform is irrelevant and not efficient. PS4 is a beast. Sony is a god.
I would hold it against them. There are two types of DRM. Type 1 is unintrusive DRM like a CD Key check or like steam (automatic CD key check). Type 2 Pirated copy is hands down better than what you are offering. If it is possible to play the pirated copy offline and you can not with a legit copy you have just lost a ton of customers. If it is only possible to play the pirated version then again you have lost more customers. DRM will stop people from buying it.
@PersonMan I have to disagree. I have been playing the mp of the third recently and it is blurry and filled with jaggies.
This game looks amazing and although there are bugs is not unplayable. It is a steal at the current price. If you liked Arma 2 you should get it now.
Exclusive to N4G
When you are loading in a game things are being transferred from the HDD (faster) or Optical Drive (Slower) into RAM. The main limitation as said before is the speed of the HDD or SSD or Optical Drive so GDDR5 will make no difference.
And if you look at the list of titles that have low to negative sli scaling you would realise that it is a fair point to make.
Congratulations other winners, Thanks again Cat.
"If You Don't Like it, Don't Buy It" I guess all the people who did buy it missed the "This game will only work sometimes" disclaimer. /s
I have not bought any of these games with Online always DRM. All you do is make the pirate version BETTER than the paid version which is not a good way to sell your product.
